It's been a while since I last posted on this thread...

I have this female friend - we are just friends, mind you, but have mutual acquaintances. Some of you may remember a few years ago, I had a FWB who turned out to be a bit crazy ("I don't want you, but I don't want anyone else to have you" mentality - well, this friend I met through the crazy one). Anyhow, this (current) friend was recently breaking up with her guy - a narcissistic type, but not physically abusive. Long story short, I've been seeing someone off and on myself; this friend, the one who just broke up, and I met to talk about trade shows, as we both run small businesses out of our homes. She got to talking about her now-ex, and I just shut up and listened. She's quite attractive, but doesn't feel she's attractive. At one point she tells me that I'm a good looking guy and a great person, and I thanked her for the compliments. Yet at one point before we parted ways to leave, she kissed me on the mouth (I can still taste her lipstick) and I could swear she (very briefly) rubbed herself against me! Now as mentioned, I think she's attractive, but I'm already seeing someone, and she knows this. But I'm not gonna lie: I began to feel a physical attraction towards her. I know that I couldn't be with her in an actual relationship, but I think maybe she's hinting on a "romp in the sack" kinda thing.
Was/is she coming on to me a bit strong?

If you value your relationship with the woman you've been seeing, nip this in the bud. Yes, she's coming on to you. @@

If only to have "troubles" like this, some guys have all the luck!

I completely agree w/ the above! Wow, you must have kind of liked her all along too because I surely wouldn't want a BF like you who will feel this instant attraction at lightning speed like that & will possibly cheat on me. You obviously allowed her to get close enough to you for her to kiss you, so don't act all innocent, ha! People can see when people are getting close to them.

You said you know you, "can't be w/ her in an actual relationship", but why? So you've never seriously thought about who you like better...her or your GF, determined you like her better & told yourself you're going to break up w/ your GF? I mean if you really like this other lady better, do things right. Don't cheat, break up appropriately, then date her.

HOWEVER, if you genuinely love your GF, stop ghanging out w/ this other lady since you can obviously see that you like her. If you keep on, you'll find yourself in bed w/ her wondering, "how this all happened".

See people & there's often threads & debates on this board about can men & women ever JUST BE FRIENDS. (All along, I personally thought not really.) According to this as well, apparently not. Look how instantly he felt that sexual chemistry!

Can't disagree. I've told her in a very subtle way: "I'm already taken, you'll have to find someone else."

My gf has been/still is really good to me, and takes care of me. No way will I ruin a good thing by jumping in the sack with someone who might be shallow! Or any other woman, for that matter.

Some people just like to tease. Maybe she is one of those? It amuses them to see how men can be led by the bit that sticks out in front.

Sometimes it's just flirtation or affection, not serious.

Wipe her lipstick off your mouth and take your girlfriend to brunch.
